My stress level is bad due to working for incompetent people. One partner would send me work with garbage instructions or for things that are completely out of my expertise, and when I ask for guidance they turn around and ask another attorney to explain to me. What the heck - why would you give me work if you don’t even know how to do the work or what you’re looking for? How do these people make partners?

Hi all, wanted to get opinions/advice. If rejected for position, would you then reach out directly to hiring manager to ask for reconsideration or similar over email? If so what would you ask?

Ps. When I followed up on candidacy they were still making decision for weeks. I let them know I had another opportunity hoping it would hurry them up and ended up not taking the other opportunity. Could it be they rejected me bc of the other offer? The hiring manager seemed to think I’d be a great fit.

I run a boutique law firm that generally represents large investment advisers F100 clients. Well we sued another large investment adviser and it’s getting some publicity however, I don’t want to be known as a Plantiffs firm. How can we manage that image while sueing a top RIA.

Any married couples that are both attorneys? Wondering how it is with having kids- paternity and maternity leave and beyond (ie, did someone have to take a step back from work or arrangements made)?

Hey fellow attorneys! I am a second year attorney who has recently accepted a job within a firm that I am absolutely ecstatic about. However, my first year of practice was highly supervised and I was given no cases of my own (Always worked the cases with major supervision and micromanaging by partners in my previous firm). I am worried about being able to do solo cases individually and whether I know enough to be in charge of cases. Anyone else experienced this? Or have any advice? Thank you!

This is a genuine question for people in Texas: what do you view as the role of state government? I ask because it seems like Texas can’t manage it’s own electrical grid system, yet, I would think this is one of the most fundamental and basic aspects of state government. Texas has been on notice for extreme weather since the snap freeze, even if you think they shouldn’t have prepared. Meanwhile Texas has made no preparations for a hot summer but has passed how many bills about the culture wars?

Being virtual I'm finding I'm forgetting/ missing more meetings which is entirely unacceptable but at the same point I don't know why it's happening.

Has anyone here had to discovery in a Probate matter? If so, what is the discovery period, and typically where would you propound your questions from?

CV advice please! I’ve been running deals myself (w one senior partner) since I was a trainee because 3/4 of my team quit back then and the partner to assoc ratio was very high in my team. Was tough but great training. I’m just under a year qualified (including my training I have 2 years of exp). My team is now staffed with 3rd/4th year assocs but I’m still chosen for the biggest deals and I draft the loan docs which the partners wouldn’t ask the other assocs to draft (Cont below)

Massachusetts state court, if plaintiff loses at med mal trial, can defendants seek attorney's fees?

How involved are the partners in your firm with the day to day of cases? Not really involved unless an important depo or trial? I’m a second year and basically do everything short of trial.

5th year M&A Associate in NYC. Potentially moving to Sacramento for personal reasons. With all the WFH, does anyone think this will be a career killer/lead to my termination? Know there are some good shops in town, but not familiar with the market and trying to expectation set for myself.

Every time I get weekend work last minute or late night emails to do research that night (which happened more times this week than it did not) I always convince myself, “ok, that’s not that bad. It won’t take too long to do.” Anyone else go through this mental exercise to keep sane 🙃

In a medical malpractice action, where a Charitable Immunity cap on liability applies to individual defendants as well as the defendant hospital, does the cap apply to each or globally as to the case? (Here, charitable cap for med mal is $100,000, is that for each defendant or total amount for case?)

Does anyone here know what it’s like to work as a trademark examiner at the USPTO? I have an interview soon and found some mixed reviews online about what it’s like to work there.

Any litigators who prefer litigating over clerking, or the other way around? I’m senior at a major appellant-side litigation firm. My boss has told me that there is a clerkship opening with a federal judge that I admire, and with his rec I would be a shoe-in. I like litigation and the opps it provides to drive change in the law, but this opp could open up some doors and give work life balance. On the other hand, I don’t know if clerking might be boring, or frustrating reading bad briefs. Thx!

Does anyone know of recruiting firms with a focus on Anti-money laundering? I’m foreign educated and newly admitted NY attorney with CAMS certification but living in Miami lol. I’m here, because my husband practices in SoFlo. Any recommendations? I don’t have any experience but have CAMS.

Remote work - obviously purely speculative at this point but how harmful do you think being fully remote will be to progression from mid-level associate through partner?
